She's only 17, no husband or kids.

That was my point.

Knock the rest of the greenhouse down to make it safe and leave the rest until next year, might be Hedgies making a den in there.

At the moment I'm mainly worried about the cats or wild animals running into or jumping on the broken glass. Lots of lethal bits sticking out the ground pointing straight up or horizontal. Most of that's made safe now.

Very conscious of disturbing any wildlife that have taken up residence.

Will any of the neighbours object if you just stack all the junk in a big pile and torch it? A nice big burn-up every now and then is very therapeutic IME.

All those kids garden toys will pump black smoke like a burning oil well, greenhouse wood fine those things are a no no.

Old enough to do some clearing though.

Wouldn't be allowed to do it here. SWMBO has concerns about things hibernating, then there is a small window before nesting time.

A lot of that junk in the ex sandpit looks like metal to me. Cement mixer ? You will be needing that for the build if it still works.

Sometimes I mull on CAD.

Seeing the North point on the drawing, is there anything you can do to use nature to improve the thermal performance? When you buy a place, I think the estate robbers always make a point of south-facing stuff.

Cement mixer ?

Is there? Result! No, the ancient cement mixers are in other crap piles.

Not really. The faceted elevation CAD one was for a garden room elsewhere from the studio. Shaped to fit in a corner, SW facing and with a good view.

There will always be something living or hibernating there. Mini digger, large skip and then all the crap can go at once.

I agree, bite-the bullet, pay for a skip and do it, in all the time typing and dwelling* on the design you could be finished, the dig the footings with-the mini digger

I think Cap'n Tom's daughter has something similar going cheaply on Faceache Marketplace

And cat turds (or garden crayons).
